If your property sits elsewhere in the borough, the borough-wide page for mansard roof extensions in Hammersmith and Fulham covers the same service across every ward.
Shepherd's Bush is Victorian and Edwardian terraces. The dominant stock — victorian and edwardian terraces — has specific constraints and opportunities for mansard roof extensions. Side returns sit better on bay-fronted Victorian terraces than on detached 1930s semis. Mansards work where the existing roofscape supports them. We design to the block, not the brochure.
